Blackout Dates arrive in Course Pacing

[dlyons]

Blackout dates are now available in Course Pacing on beta! They'll be in production and test late afternoon (mountain time) on 5/25.

Blackout dates allow you to set fixed dates that prevent Course Pacing from setting due dates on those days. These can be individual days, or a range of days. (So you can give your learners Christmas day off or maybe Christmas month. 😉)

You don't have to do anything to enable this functionality; if you're using Course Pacing you'll see it in the menu.

You can add and delete blackout dates for your course in this simple modal.

We look forward to your feedback!

Any idea of when we can set all of our blackout dates at the sub-account/account level instead of setting blackout dates individually for courses?

It would be nice if there was a way to enter multiple blackout dates in a course at once, instead of adding each date individually.  At least then we might be able to copy and paste the blackout dates into each course.

Agreed...I tried using a Blueprint hoping that the Blackout Dates would push out to all courses...but unfortunately they do not.
